Vibrational Spectroscopy

Vibrational spectroscopy is a technique used to analyze how molecules move when they vibrate. When light or other energy interacts with a substance, it can cause the molecules’ bonds to stretch, bend, or twist. By measuring the specific frequencies of this vibrational energy, scientists can identify the types of molecules and learn about their structure and composition. It’s like listening to the unique “sound” each molecule makes when it vibrates, providing valuable information in chemistry, biology, and materials science.
